7/2/2026 4:15am Haven’t made any bike progress but had enough targeted marketing to pull the trigger on a 30L ultrasonic bath. I’ve got a 2L unit I use for carbs and convinced myself a bigger one could do motors and if I do some work for other people it won’t cost me anything. I tested it with some parts I am going...

6/24/2026 11:27pm Will do. I’m going to make a new mount that will drop the CDI lower to reduce the bend in the cables

Check the wires near the connector, they are prone to breaking where they bend...

6/24/2026 2:02pm While I was mucking around with the bracket I decided to make a fork height gauge and a few different chain slack gauges. I was surprised checking the manual that the spec for the CR is 25-35mm. I’ve always just run the old two to three fingers so this will be an upgrade.

6/24/2026 1:36pm Decided for now to just get the CDI mounted in the stock position and I will look into putting on the steering dampener after I ride it. I 3D printed a basic bracket to get it in the stock position but the cables to connect the CDI were very tight. I then lowered it 20mm but I think I might...

6/20/2026 4:48am Haven’t had much time to work on the bike but I did clean up the stock exhaust in my lunch break. It’s got a couple small dings but should do the job

6/8/2026 4:34am Thanks for the tip. It’s already tight swapping filters without adding anything to the airbox so that might be a better option. I think I’ll mount the pipe and everything then see what space I have.

If you relocate the CDI and rectifier next to the shock, you can use the original wiring, but will need to extend the kill switch wires.

6/7/2026 5:24am Slowly getting more parts on. The bike didn’t come with the CDI mount bracket so I need to decide whether to buy/make a new one or relocate the CDI and install a spare HPSD I have.

6/5/2026 4:49am Got the motor together after work tonight. Thought I had an issue at first as the crank would spin but had more drag than it should. Checked the clearance and noticed it wasn’t centred in the case. A bit of work with the rubber mallet got it centered and spinning much easier. Didn’t take any photos of the process as...

5/25/2026 3:47am Managed to get the bearings and most of the seals installed last night and got the cases back together today. It’s hard to get a few hours on the same day to work on it, but we’re making progress. For the bearings I sourced all of them from two stores and was able to get all of the bearings inside...

5/20/2026 1:46am Not planning on anything too modern on the front, probably just the 07 CR front fender so it’s not as round and a Cycra stadium number plate

5/19/2026 5:59pm Looks good. Mine will end up with the headlight back on when it’s not at the track

5/19/2026 3:15am Bearing turned up but I haven’t had time to install them yet. I do have a dilemma that every has during a build, what direction do I go with plastics/graphics. I was just going to put OEM shroud graphics on and remove the rest but I’m leaning towards either 07 graphics or the woody look. I usually like black fork...

5/10/2026 7:08pm Took the top clamp back off the bike to coat the bar mounts and repeated the top clamp because it had a light spot. As a test I also cerakote the rear brake guide and slipper guard to see how durable it is on plastics. Got the front end back together, brakes bled and remounted the stock 971 bars. I’m...

5/8/2026 6:34am Didn’t have much time tonight but I was able to get the both wheels fitted and bleed the rear brake. Got the shock installed too. I haven’t decided on bars yet so front brakes haven’t been mounted. I also had a thought that it would be interesting to see how this motor runs with my spare HPP cylinders but I...

5/5/2026 3:57pm Thanks. I’m stoked with how they came out, especially since it wasn’t my first choice of colour. I knew I wanted darker but not black and these should look awesome once it’s built. I’ve got a seal kit so now just planning to order some new bearings since I already have it apart, then I can start the rebuild.

That's a cool color for the cases.
